Aveling Barford Diesel Road Roller 279 by Dinky To

This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in November 2006 for £89.99 in the following condition:
This beautiful and rarely offered model is in absolutely stunning mint perfect condition, you won't find better than this anywhere, it's an absolute beauty.
It comes in its equally superb red and yellow picture card box which is showing only the lightest age wear, overall very crisp, clean, bright and 100 per cent complete - very nice indeed!
All in all, a superb example of one of Dinky's more unusual and hard to find models, not often offered in this fantastic condition, and a great addition to any collection!
